Here is a rare Aphex Compellor/Aural Exciter Model 303. It is a mono compressor.
It is a user friendly multiprocessor containing a compressor, leveller, peak limiter
and Aural Exciter. Designed for gentle, subtle, transparent dynamic processing.
It delivers intelligent compression, levelling and peak limiting simultaneously.
These were used extensively in the audio and broadcast industries due to their
capability of enhancing audio without signal degradation or adding artefacts.
It's in proper working condition and was serviced a few months agoat West 12 Audio
in west London. As one can see from the photos, there is some rust at the top panel
of the rack unit. This is purely cosmetic. I have replaced a few of the control knobs
that were missing when I purchased this a few years ago. The strip covering for
the strip indicator lights is missing, but this doesn't affect operation and function in
any way. Please note that the Y-cable (male/female XLR to TRS) is included in the
sale along with the kettle lead (see photos).
It's a classic unit, and would be an excellent addition to a DAW front end for those
looking for a transparent (as opposed to coloured) compressor.
It's a bulky, heavy unit, therefore collection only, from Ealing, west London.
